Today the Artistic Outpost team is sharing Holiday creations featuring the beautiful Artistic Outpost Holiday Stamps. There is also a 15% off sale on the Artistic Outpost Christmas stamps Wed. Nov. 21st through Monday November 26th use the code: Christmas2012 when checking out.

I like to shop after the holidays to see what is left over from the holiday decorations. This sled ornament was in a sale pile and I picked it up to hold onto for this year. I think it makes a wonderful base for my stamped Christmas Door.

I stamped the Christmas door from the Snowy Woods plate onto white cardstock. I used the STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell color pencils to color my door. I cut the door out from the door frame. I taped the door to Kraft cardstock and added pop dots to the frame and added it to the kraft cardstock.

After I finished my door I realized I wanted something to showcase my door and that is where the sled comes in. I dug around in my alterable shelf and realized that the door fit perfectly on the sled. I placed the door on the sled and added my finishing touches with the glittery snowflake, ribbon and pine cones.

The sentiment is stamped from the Sleigh Ride plate onto a die cut. I edged the die cut with the Stampendous Gold Tinsel Embossing powder.

Oh, my! That little sled is amazing, Suzz! So many gorgeous details! LOVE the colors, the sparkle, the dimension and just the sheer gorgeousness! Beautiful work! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! :)

What a brilliant idea Sue! I'm positive I would never have looked at that sled and imagined doing something like this with it. It's really lovely and I love the dimension you have achieved with the door and the gorgeous colouring. The door looks really weathered. Such fabulous inspiration!
